From Navya Naveli Nanda calling Jaya and Shweta as special guests, to Ira Khan getting candid about her personal mental health experiences, it looks like these celebs are making their way independently by choosing podcasts over acting.

1. Ira Khan

Call Me Hopeful with Ira Khan | The Swaddle

With a focus on mental health, Ira Khan, the daughter of Aamir Khan, just launched her own podcast, Call Me Hopeful. Imran Khan, Vir Das, Mallika Dua, and Kenny Sebastian are just a few of the visitors that were teased in the trailer. No other guests were mentioned. According to Ira, the podcast’s host, the goal is to clarify misconceptions and the oversimplification of ideas pertaining to mental health.

Navya Naveli, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan’s granddaughter  was among the first famous children to launch a podcast. Navya wants to make an impression, but not with movies. Her podcast, What the Hell Navya, features provocative discussions with her grandma Jaya Bachchan and mother Shweta Bachchan Nanda. She just made a comeback with the release of her podcast’s second season. In an interview with The Telegraph, Nanda discussed her podcast and stated, “The show was the brainchild of my mom (Shweta Bachchan Nanda). We live together, so this is something that we do every evening — sitting on a couch and talking about different things. During the lockdown, we would talk for hours on different topics. We would have agreements and disagreements. My mom suggested, ‘Why don’t we do this as a podcast? If we have these tough conversations on a public platform, we could make having these conversations normal. We could encourage people in society to be transparent about the kind of topics we talk about in the show.’ Some of these topics are still stigmatised and people don’t often speak about these things.”

3. Arhaan Khan

Arhaan and his buddies released a hilarious conversation with his uncle Sohail Khan and producer-actor father Arbaaz Khan in the debut episode of Dumb Biryani. They discussed how things had been easier for the three Khan brothers when they were younger.
